2.2 Audio Capture
When capturing audio, you have the choice of extracting music
from a CD, or recording audio from a sound device.
If you are extracting audio from a CD, select the letter associated
with the drive you plan to use. You can then preview the CD
tracks with the standard playback controls (play, stop, rewind,
etc.).
Use the Start and End markers (scissors) to trim the audio if you
wish. Simply drag the marks to the desired spots.
If you are recording audio from a sound device, choose the device
from the pull-down. The Format button lets you select the bit rate
and other audio settings. The options available after clicking the
Source button are dependent on your sound capture device.
When you're ready, click the Record button in the Player. You
must then specify the file name for the soon-to-be recorded audio,
along with the save location. If you want, you can have the audio
automatically put into an album of your choice upon being
recorded. Albums are discussed in more detail in Section 3.3
To stop recording, click the Stop button within the Player.
To play back your new recording, click the Playback button within
the Player. Standard playback controls become available.
